Mine, or Katies?

protokatie:
Mine will not be arcade related. To be honest, mixing a "tardis" and a cab seems like a good waste of both... Still looked cool tho...

IE, My Tardis will be an actual phone booth. Not very creative in that respect, but when people go in and see a phone, it would make sense. :D

Howard_Casto:
Actually the Tardis isn't a phone booth, it's a english police box.  Their primary function was as a temporary holding cell for criminals (usually the intoxicated) until the paddy wagon would arrive.  They DID have a phone inside that the public could use toll-free to call for help though.  It made it doubly convenient for the drunkards that normally got locked in them as the police could allow them to call someone to come pick them up. 

Bill and Ted paid tribute by making their time machine an actual phone booth, which is of course, very similar looking.


Ok, nerd history lesson over.  I just couldn't stand to hear someone call it a phone booth.   :cheers:

protokatie:
I did my research on the London police boxes, and yes you are right. (although I hadn't heard of them being used for containment). I even recreated the signs on the side and there is more work to be done with it.

Regardless, the thing is held together with hinges, and can be taken apart for moving and modding :D

Edit: Also, the colour is off. I had to go with Postal Blue (US) as it was the darkest blue I could get :<

RayB:
But.... who uses phone booths anymore. You're not gonna want to sit in a box to talk to people.
